HUGE WIN FOR VARSITY SOFTBALL! 🔥 The girls came ready to compete and took down Chester with a hard-fought 5-3 victory! 💪🥎 From the first pitch to the final out, this team showed grit, focus, and heart.

Students and staff at our elementary school have been working on completing artwork to display around the school. Mrs. Parker has been working hard with the students in the 8:1+1 class to decorate their bulletin board.
